Office lighting in Wye
In short: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Meeting rooms are where Wye offices waste most light. Presence detectors that switch off after a set time pay back quickly in rooms that sit empty for half the day.
Local office lighting in Wye
We usually phase office work in Wye over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Many Wye office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
For Wye premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.

Approved Document L (2021 edition, with 2023 amendments) asks for new general lighting to average at least 95 luminaire lumens per circuit-watt, or to use the LENI method. The 2026 edition raises this to more than 105 for work under it from 24 March 2027.

Privately rented commercial property in England generally needs an EPC of E or better, or a registered exemption, and lighting is one of the cheaper ways to improve a rating.
Wye FAQs
Can you work out of hours in Wye?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Wye offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
How quickly can you survey in Wye?
Most surveys in Wye can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Panels or linear pendants?
Recessed 600×600 panels suit suspended grid ceilings and are the simplest swap. Linear suspended fittings suit exposed soffits and can light both the desk and the ceiling, which makes a space feel brighter.
